Corporate Advocacy Program: The best way to manage and repair your business reputation. Hiding negative complaints is only a Band-Aid. Consumers want to see how businesses take care of business. All businesses will get complaints. How those businesses take care of those complaints is what separates good businesses from bad businesses.

I was lucky that I read the Report #269828 from Jon, from San Jose, Ca.

On the letter sent (very professional) October 17, was the last day to claim the reward package. I did not call. I went straight to the internet & Googled.
Ripoff Report had the information I needed. Below is the copy of some of the letter.

We are pleased to inform you of the results of the NORTH AMERICA HOLIDAY REWARD PROMOTIONS/LOTTERY PROGRAM held on September 27, 2007.

Your name attached to ticket 225-1198652357-... with Reference No. 0060/TR/..../.. drew the lucky numbers and consequently won the prize. You have therefore been selected to recieve a lump sum payment of US$28,500.00 in cash and a holiday cruise. All participants were selected through a computer ballot system drawn from Reader's Digest, Publishers' Clearing House databases and names of vacationers from Asia, Australia, Middle East, Gulf Countries,...,... as part of the International Promotions Program, which is conducted quarterly. (very convincing)
